Fascinating....I have to snoop also when I'm at someone's house....can't help it, just have to see what they have and how its set up and/or hooked up....we don't mean to pry, just curious...
the variety is suprising....too many different scenes/setups to mention....and how to say for the odd ones of what some people will do for basic clean clothes, some professionally installed, and yet others have stuff rigged, but it gets the job done....
probably the most odd was a guy didn't have a washer hookup, but had a maytag, which he altered, meaning he took out the water valve assembly, and connected it to a auto heater hose which ran from the machine to the kitchen sink, and slipped onto the faucett to fill, and drain into the sink, he just kept an eye on the whole process as not to overflo and flood the floor....he also pulled the timer motor wires off, so it would not advance and stay in wash or spin as needed.....much like a wringer or semi-automatic....he made it function for his needs....amazing

Love it - I'm another painter and I do exactly the same thing. That's how I've ended up with some very cool stuff though - I told one woman how much I liked the "old washer" in the basement and she said "Really??? You can have it if you like...." Back up the truck and away we go.....
Curious about that brand of clothes dryer...it's pretty obviously a private label, but what is Interprovincial Cooperatives Limited...or what were they in the early '60s? It looks just like a Western Auto POD which comes up routinely.

I love that Ingraham starburst clock. That should be either upstairs in the living room, or at the very least, in the family room. It's too cool to hide in the laundry room.
